Google Cloud API Gateway Playground

Google Cloud API Gateway is one of the most important services offered by Google Cloud. It allows you to deploy APIs and expose the workloads you handle on Google Cloud. Cloud API Gateway is easy to use and offers you a reduced complexity way to build and deploy APIs.

The playground is a safe and secure sandbox environment for you to explore your own ideas, follow along with Cloud Academy courses, or answer your own questions all without the need to install any software on your local machine. The extended duration of this playground provides you with ample time to play to your heart's content. The goal is to be able to experiment and learn with little start time or overhead. Feel free to experiment with creating Cloud functions and exposing them through Cloud API Gateway in any way you see fit. Enjoy!
